A sneak peek into my art portfolio....
..
Art, photography, music, painting, cleaning, cooking, fashion and interior design, sewing, decorating...and just about anything else that allows me to be creative or use my hands (nothing dirty, now...)...sleep, as much as I can get, when and wherever I can get it, dogs (especially my two little shitz), politics and any opportunity that will allow me to sCrEaM from my ever-growing soapbox.....
People that are EASY to talk to, who enjoy a little bit of sarcasm, and don't need to be "coaxed" through a conversation. I love talking with ALL types of random folks, you get an opportunity to learn a lot from a diverse segment of the world. My friends know that I can go into a room and chat it up with anyone and everyone, but NOTHING is more tiresome, mind-numbing, and brain-cell exterminating than being stuck talking to someone that you have to "ease" through a conversation. Now, I have NO problem with silence, that's fine, but RECIPROCATE the conversation every once in a while, ask a question or two dammit, God forbid you find out something you didn't know when you woke up that morning! My short attention span can't handle those type of folks, I get bored....

My "Sex and the City" and "My So Called Life" boxsets are two of my most prized possessions (okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit on that one)! CSI Miami (and New York & Las Vegas - but most importantly MIAMI)! Food related shows like Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef, and Bizarre Foods...Just about anything on A&E and Bravo, and those cheesy series on VH1.... all those crime shows like The First 48, Autopsy, American Justice, City Confidential, Forensic Files, Cops, Americas Most Wanted, but most importantly I absolutely have to watch Dateline, Primetime, 48 Hours and 20/20 every single week...without television, my life is so empty....so lonely....so cold........

Lieutenant Colonel Clinert Raycraft Staples, Jr., also known as Ray, also know as Ray Jr., but most importantly known as Daddy....
"I had a bag of Fritos, they were Texas grilled Fritos. These Fritos had grill marks on them. They remind me of summer, when we used to fire up the barbeque and throw down some Fritos. I can still see my dad with the apron on. Better flip that Frito, dad, you know how I like it."
